V (female voice imitating computer from Star Trek): The end
sequence is now commencing.

M (ME): But first mustn’t we beef up our defense spending?

V: Yes. And to do this must first purge from our memories
what it is we are actually supposed to me defending.

M: By this do you mean we ought to ignore the bottom lines
on our balance sheets?

V: Well actually, between you and me, those numbers are not
the people I was strategically falsely implying.

M: Good. Because last I checked, I did the math and found
virtually no downside. Unless you consider the fact that this money must be
earned a down side.

V: Course not. Remember, we are those post humans who make
their decisions from inside an office. The real price will be paid... by a
portion of your population... consisting mostly of disposables, plebes, and
human sheeps.

And not our hides, besides.

Sacrificing the marginal stream will only serve to
strengthen the mainstream.
